Concerned About Smartphone App Privacy? You’re Not Alone!

Your buddy just showed you the new app he found. You’ve gotta have it, too. But… why does an app that puts mustaches on cat videos need to access to your contact list?

If you’re concerned about what the apps on your smartphone can access, you’re not alone!

A new study from the Pew Research Center found that 57% of smartphone app users have “either uninstalled an app over concerns about having to share personal information, or declined to install an app in the first place for similar reasons.”

While not every app that tries to access your personal info has a malicious intent, knowing what’s going on behind the scenes of your smartphone puts you in charge.
